Two weeks in prison for ‘car dancer’

The Lower Criminal Court has sentenced a GCC woman to two weeks behind bars for committing public indecency. The woman was arrested after a 50-second video went viral showing her dancing from a moving car in Juffair.

According to prosecutors, her face was covered and she made immoral gestures while dancing to loud music from the car, which was driven by her boyfriend, also a GCC national.

Investigations led to the arrest of both of them and the woman revealed to prosecutors that she was in a party mood. “We spent the night at an Arabian party and we left at around 2.00 am. I saw the sunroof open and I decided to stand up and look through it.
